    Really like the contrasting top and sides on the Overwater - kind of makes it look like a caramel slice or millionaire's shortbread as some folk call them! Either way, good enough to eat!

    A quick snap

    ped posted a topic in Gear Gallery

    Just playing with my new camera... got a quick snap here, it's a bit blurry actually but will get some better ones tomorrow. Just wanted to ask though, on my monitor the picture is very clear and sharp, but having posted a black and white pic on here before some said it was very dark on their monitors. Over at Flickr I have looked at the pics in the black&white section and they all seem about the same levels as mine.. so how does it look to you? Cheers ped

    [quote name='SteveO' post='567247' date='Aug 12 2009, 08:02 PM']Any advance on this, folks ? Well It's cheating a bit isn't it. I mean it's not as if there was a pub full of people crowding round a set of sennheisers trying to hear the bass solo. I think the op was referring to inaudible monitoring rather than low power monitoring, in which case my entry's probably null and void too. [/quote] IT COUNTS!! [sub]It counts :'([/sub]

    No amp at all (in ear monitors!)

    Got any pics of the flight case? Might be interested :0)

    Oh yes Mark at Bass Direct could teach most shops a thing or two about customer service. Darren at The Bass Merchant, too. Let's hear it for the few remaining good guys out there!

    Here is a fretless version where you can see its original layout: [url="http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/7466/vigierarpegedeltamtalgo4.jpg"]http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/7466/vi...eltamtalgo4.jpg[/url] Cheers ped

    [quote name='RhysP' post='567005' date='Aug 12 2009, 05:24 PM']Does this Vigier have a carbon fibre neck? Is that the original bridge?[/quote] Allow me to field this one: The bridge is not original. The original one was a sort of custom affair with cylindrical barrels and what not. The bridge has been put in the place of this system and looks like it fits quite well. The Schaller 3D was fitted to Passion basses of the same era. The neck is pre-carbon; Vigier used a brass laminate under the fingerboard (ebony IIRC) for stability and y all accounts it worked very well, the hardest part was getting the materials to bond, according to Patrice Vigier. Crazy and unique French design - with stunning and innovative results. Top drawer! ped

    Ignore the menu on the left and use the buttons at the top and you can find the Ray.

    The edges of the body are slightly less contoured and the top horn on the Marleaux is slightly teardropped as you can see here. [url="http://doctorbass.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/marleaux-consat-custom-cuerpo-3.jpg"]http://doctorbass.net/blog/wp-content/uplo...om-cuerpo-3.jpg[/url]

    Ah yes I have seen these - a direct copy of the Marleaux Consat body shape. Looks nice for £350

    Brilliant, thanks for sharing it. I think it should be made into a book! I will have fun looking through all the companies I have never heard of! ped

    Something like that probably yeah. You could call them for more information on 01865 553777. Let us know what they say!
  15. ped
    yeah quite. About the same as Kiwis if you have tried that. Possibly a bit heavier actually.
  16. ped
    Haha yeah I probably would have got away with it too. Well you know where it is... do you need a box?

    Just popped into the Oxford Guitar Gallery to get a cardboard box and saw they have a nice 70's stingray in natural with black scratchplate. Very worn and used, bullet truss rod and 3 point neck plate and original foam mutes at the bridge. Bloke didn't seem to know much about it but picked £1200 out of the air as an opening price. Might be worth checking out for someone! The neck was dead straight. Cheers ped

    Hi Musky, Yeah, for some reason I was thinking of the bridge cover, not the pickup cover. I only realised when I called Crowman last night. Cheers ped

    [quote name='thebeat' post='565401' date='Aug 10 2009, 09:12 PM']Deep blacks? think you need to calibrate your monitor cos you can hardly see anything in those shots. [/quote] Ah really! They look great on here (Sony VAIO screen which is very nice so perhaps I am biased) Cheers ped

    Ha! Let me know if you find one - apparently the one on the Grabber bass is the same...
